[ laughter ] tracy and jack were doing it together. >> jimmy: tracy and jack? >> alec: tracy doing jack. >> jimmy: oh, my gosh. this is like "50 shades of" -- it's like "30 rock shades of grey." that's probably what it was called. yeah. >> tracy: "30 rock shades of grey." >> jimmy: all right, well, back to our clips here. jane krakowski. we asked to you choose a favorite clip. what clip did you choose and why? >> jane: okay, i picked a clip because i thought this was as crazy passive as it sort of gets, especially for jenna 'cause this was the second time that jenna -- first of all, the best part about playing jenna is that she's so insane that once we established that, and that she had no bearing on any reality of the world, we could do anything possible. so this is the second time that jenna performed in gender-changing getup. >> tina: and race-changing. >> jane: race-changing. oh, yeah. race-changing and

gender-changing. >> jimmy: oh, my goodness. it's a twofer, yeah. >> jane: a twofer, a two-for-one. okay, so this is when she and her now husband, right when the series ends, but it was her shman at the time. where they break up and they decide the reason they should get back together is because they both wanted to go dressed -- to michael kors' halloween party dressed as two black swans, and this is them. i'm -- i'm the handsome young man. >> jimmy: it's your christmas holiday episode of "30 rock." >> jane: weird, wacky and sincere. >> jimmy: here's jane's favorite "30 rock" clip. here she is with will forte. ♪ long lay the world in sin and darkness pining till he appeared and the soul felt his worth ♪ [ cheers and applause ] >> jane: yeah. i was lynn swann, and he --

>> jimmy: you were two black swans. >> jane: two black swans. i was lynn swann. >> jimmy: you were lynn swann. >> and he is natalie portman from the movie "black swan." but i just want to say for the music nuts out there, and this is the genius of jeff richmond, who composed all the songs and the theme song of our show, i'm actually singing the male part and will forte is singing the soprano part. and i just think that's so awesome. >> jimmy: will forte hitting the high note. of course he is. >> jane: and playing the gender correct role. >> jimmy: oh my goodness. >> jane: and thank you for letting me do that, by the way. >> jimmy: there's so much good music, so much good music on the show. by the way, musical moments. >> tina: so much singing, so many crazy songs over the years. "muffin top." "werewolf bar mitzvah." >> jimmy: weird al -- your character released a song and weird al spoofed it. and then to out-spoof weird al, you came out with a weird song that he -- that he couldn't spoof. >> tina: but he reversed it and made it sincere and it became, like, a top- charting hit. >> jimmy: he made it his first serious song ever and was a number one hit. how about the live shows? was that a big thing? [ cheers ] >> jane: that was amazing.

>> tina: we did two live shows. and, jimmy, you did the second one, which was awesome. you played a young jack donaghy. and they were so fun. we would do them in here at nbc in the "saturday night live" studio, and we would blend. it was half the "30 rock" crew and half the "snl" crew. and beth mccarthy, who directed us for years, would always direct. she just got a director's guild awards nomination the other day for directing that last one. >> jimmy: we love beth mccarthy-miller. [ applause ] >> tina: and it would be -- it would be, like, you know, all of an "snl" crammed into 20 minutes, so it'd just be, like, everyone running around like crazy, and they were -- >> jimmy: so exciting. >> tina: just fun. >> jimmy: kind of like "snl." >> tracy: like being back home. >> jimmy: it did, right? well, most of you guys come from a performing background. >> tina: yeah. >> jimmy: yes, of course. theater, and, yeah, like jack, improv. you were improv. >> tracy: the element of live -- and the immediate response from the audience and they'll let you know right there. it was fun. >> jimmy: did it make the script longer? did you have to cut it way down because of live? >> tina: we had to cut it way down.

by the second time we did it, we just got faster. it was hard. it was kind of a little puzzle because you had to figure out -- you couldn't have all the sets and what did you need and it was, like, a little fun math problem. >> jimmy: so much fun. >> alec: and then to do east coast/west coast feeds. >> jimmy: that's right. [ talking over each other ] >> alec: the first time we did it. >> tracy: by the time we got to the west coast, we were locked in though. >> alec: i remember the first time we did it. i think my sister was here, and i go, "so, we're going to go have dinner. we'll make a reservation at like, 9:30 or 10:00, and someone looked at me and they go, "no, we have to do the show again for the west coast at 11:30." >> jimmy: the same show, doing it twice. >> alec: performed for the east coast and west coast. >> jimmy: i was in the east coast one, someone else was in -- >> tina: you were in both. >> jimmy: no, i was in both. oh, but, paul mccartney was in the first one. >> tina: yeah. >> jimmy: and kim kardashian replaced him for the second one. that always happens to paul. that always happens to paul mccartney. i got tickets to see paul mccartney, but it was the kardashians. here we go again. you remember what paul mccartney did to you on the first? >> alec: he slapped me in the face. >> tina: he did. >> jimmy: just to get a reaction from you. >> alec: yeah. >> jimmy: "how you doing, jack?" [ smack ] a really good smack. >> alec: "is this the bathroom?"

and he went -- >> jimmy: he gave you a good smack in the face. that was funny. >> tracy: what was my line? >> jimmy: what was your line? >> tracy: that's my famous line. >> jimmy: what? >> tracy: he said, "what's my line?" >> jimmy: is that your favorite? >> tracy: that's my favorite line. i'm gonna fill you guys in. hold up. so whenever we would do the show, we would tape the show. >> jimmy: yeah. >> tracy: i would go "what's my line?" i thought i had my lines down, but i never had my lines down. >> jimmy: you would always say that to the crew. you were, like, "what's my line?" >> tracy: everybody came in prepared, and i would go, "what's my line?" >> tina: and then he'd go -- "yeah, i got it!" [ light laughter ] >> alec: we could all do that. we did that for six years. we would say "i got it" like him, because tracy would go -- [ as tracy ] "jack, i gotta tell you something." and someone would tell him the line. and he'd go, "i got it." [ laughter ] i've got it. >> tracy: what's my line? i got it! >> alec: so we'd all go, "i got it." >> jimmy: you have to -- this is a tricky script, man.

it's like, there's a lot of memorizing some of the stuff here. >> jane: and we talked a lot faster as the series went on. so, like, in the first series, we're talking quite slow. and whenever we'd have, like, summer hiatus break, the first episode back we'd have to cut, like, seven minutes out of the show because we all were talking too slow. and then by the time we got to the second episode, we learned how to talk fast enough so we could talk like this and get all our lines in. >> jimmy: oh, my god. that right there -- >> alec: i would literally -- i would drink, like, 20 cups of coffee in the morning. >> jimmy: try to get a -- >> alec: seriously, now that the show's over, i'm having my kidneys replaced. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: everyone's getting a new one. >> tracy: i told you "30 rock" is hard on kidneys. >> jimmy: it's hard on the kidneys. thank you. but alec, your clip that you brought for you that you picked involves tricky dialogue. >> alec: well, because i like -- the writing was always funny to me because to play it well, and you talked about the pace of it. we did it the speed of that, but i did a scene with jane that i really liked. you can't pick your favorite scene. >> jimmy: yeah. >> alec: i did a clip reel for my website, and as i did 12 clips, 15 clips, but at some point i'm driving in the car going, "i forgot that clip." i mean, i could've put 60 clips on there, you know?

i could've had a two-hour clip reel or whatever but i picked this one because this is jane and i in what i call, like, at the net. i like this kind of at the net dialogue. here we go. >> oh, my god, jack, what are you doing in wardrobe? >> latest research is in. our audience doesn't like green. >> well, that's too bad. i like green. >> research never lies, jenna. it lets us know what we're thinking. what's too boring, what's too gay, what's too old. >> what's too old? >> that's a very good question. how old are you? >> i'm 29. >> what year were you born? >> 1977. >> when did you graduate high school? >> '94. >> when do you turn 40? >> 2017. >> junior high crush? >> kirk cameron. >> prom theme? >> "motown philly," boyz ii men. >> what movie did you lose your virginity at? >> "arachnophobia." >> theater or drive-in? >> what's a drive-in? >> i don't know why i bothered to ask. i can tell just from your physical appearance that you're obviously -- 29. >> jimmy: oh, very good. [ cheers and applause ] perfectly done. perfectly delivered right there. [ talking over each other ] >> jane: way older than 29.

and i will say what was great about that is that alec really insisted that we do that in a two shot because that really needed to be done by the pace and not cut into and edited. and that was really one of alec's great things that he would know that. >> alec: that we could try in one take. >> jimmy: sure, yeah. and i should let everyone know, too, like, these scenes, like, that wardrobe room is almost exactly -- it is exactly. >> tina: it looks exactly like backstage at "snl." yeah, so when jimmy came to do a cameo on "30 rock," he was walking on the fake set that looks like "snl." what is going on? >> jimmy: yeah. where did you shoot in silver cut? where is that? >> tina: in silver cuts, in queens. >> jimmy: so i was in queens, and i'm walking through, and it's exactly like what being in "saturday night live" was like. what is real? what is fake? oh, my gosh. >> tina: pulled the mask off. same face under it. >> jimmy: that was weird, right? that you were wearing a tina fey mask. tracy, let's have one more clip for you, then we'll go to commercial. but what clip did you bring? >> tracy: the genius of alec on this clip is that it was done in one take. which is a lie. i never did anything in one take. [ laughter ] never.

>> alec: i've got it! >> tracy: i just wanted to say that because jane said it. >> jimmy: yeah. you never did anything once. >> tracy: no, this clip right here was me going down memory lane with my dad and my mom. and growing up, and alec is impersonating my daddy. and it was fun for me because we got to see -- you get to see the genius of alec, and he's very funny in this clip. >> jimmy: i know what clip this is. >> tina: he's gonna get him therapy. >> jimmy: it's a therapy thing, and you're playing his father. here's tracy morgan's favorite "30 rock" clip. this is quite amazing. >> i want to talk to you, son. >> you sound nothing like my dad. >> well, where's he from? >> all i know is he's from funky north philly. he worked in a campbell soup factory and he had a droopy lip due to an unattended root canal. >> i think i can do this. okay. go. >> i'm mad at you, dad. >> hey, dummy, i'm mad at you, too. why you got to act out that way? >> uh, that's not exactly what i had -- >> because you left me, dad! >> i was young and confused, and your moms didn't want me around no more. now pass me them damn collard greens. >> is this true, mom? [ laughter ]

>> he gambled away my welfare check. >> woman, i got a mind to smack you upside the head. >> uh, this is not helpful. >> be me now. >> i only act out because i want your love. dynamite! >> i think we're just doing "good times" now. >> now do the white dude that my moms left my dad for. >> now, see here, tracy, it's impolite to slurp one's soup. >> whoa, no need to resort to ugly stereotypes.
